The Illini (29-0, 15-0 Big Ten) celebrated their second consecutive conference championship by closing out the Boilermakers by halftime, building a 50-26 lead. Illinois won its 21st in a row at the Assembly Hall in its final home game.
The Illini raced to an 11-4 lead, and Purdue (7-19, 3-12) never got closer than five points after that. The Illini had a 21-0 run in the second half and led by as many as 44 points in handing Purdue its fourth straight loss.
